Interactive Sort, Document Maps, and Links (Report Builder and SSRS)

In Web-based environments, you can add a number of features that let your users interact with reports. Your users can change the sort order of values in your report, show or hide items in the report, or click links that go to other reports or Web pages. You can also add a table of contents or document map. Your report users can click items in the table of contents or document map to jump to areas within a report.

Report Builder and Report Designer support three types of links with the following actions:

Bookmark links Jump to other areas within the report.

Hyperlinks Jump to URLs that specify the address of Web pages or reports on a report server by using URL access.

You can create and modify report definitions (.rdl) in Report Builder and in Report Designer in SQL Server Data Tools. Each authoring environment provides different ways to create, open, and save reports and related items.
